Quite right on this subject. The whole C8 website is covered with cool and fairly obscure music stuff. Great graphics (kind of doom like though). There is still a very large and functioning independant label scene, much like there was in rock in the 80s. I favor replacing Underground with Independant. Its a basic statement of business purpose and a statement of what means is being employed to deliver the music to the listener. I do forsee a frenzy of major label signing independant label just like in rock, and that could kill off the distributors (just like in rock) and many of the remaining small labels (who can no longer function independantly without a regular scene of commerce). By then a bunch of young upstarts will be making cooler music than techno anyway. and we'll be old and shit. 10-4 over and out good buddy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chris Sattinger reprogramming our reality through disco new records coming on : Synewave(jan), Subvoice(feb), Sativae(?)
